About Me

My photo
I am a full-time mama with a passion for writing and talking to fascinating people. I live in a one horse town with a Cowboy and my son. Thank Lord for cyberspace! I lived a colourful life in Sydney for a number of years. Working in advertising and journalism for FPC and the Sydney Morning Herald. During my time in Sydney I competed in a Dragon Boat race, choreographed a dragshow, used the Share Accomodation advertisements as a way to meet men and was told by Noiseworks frontrunner Jon Stevens that I was a bitch! Then came the decision to move back to country for 3 months to help out my Father with newspaper business while he was having treatment. Convinced I was a city girl I was caught by surprise when I fell in love with a farmer (and no, he didn't want a wife... still doesn't it seems!) convinced him that we needed to see the world, popped off to Vietnam to teach english in Saigon - before realising that the "food" in Nam didn't agree with me... turned out to be Monte - my son who is now with the Cowboy and I back in country NSW! I am in a wonderful stage of my life where I am focusing on the things that really make me tick. Including writing these chronicles.

The Cowboy (he may kill me)




This is my Cowboy - and these are some of his pictures.
He works out in the heat and the dust and though he is a cowboy, he works with sheep.
I don't get it. Anyway.
Yes he is gorgeous.
Yes he is good to me.
Yes he climbed up to a nest with Wedge tailed Eagles in them so he could show me the pic.
Yes sometimes he works in Armageddon-like conditions.
Yes he comes home dusty.
Some days resembling a negative.
Sometimes even the whites of his eyes aren't white.
I never thought I would end up with a Cowboy.
Let alone one that works with sheep.
I had always imagined I would be with a city slicker.
I am so glad that things don't always pan out how you imagine.
I have snagged myself a great one.
Since I have known him my life as I knew it has been turned on its head and I haven't looked back.
He is a great Dad, great de-facto (haha) , great cook and is very supportive of my every whim.
What more could a girl want I ask?
He will be so embarrassed that I wrote this.
Just another thing I love about him.
God, we are opposites.
